Abstract- With the Traffic Light only the chances of roadside accident and human error based Railway
Accidents are reduced to minimal amount these days. With the increasing number of roads and trains, the
requirement for accuracy based controlling the traffic lights is increasing day by day in future generation.

Introduction

raffic Light plays the most important role in our life

while dealing with huge traffic and increasing
population. It also plays to develop the Automatic
Controller System which enable for Error Free
Controlling System. This traffic light controller enables
for designing as Digital Designing Concepts by
programming in VHDL and Verilog HDL as Hardware
Description Language. This paper gives me the new
way for developing the Automatic System Based Traffic
Light Controller and marketing as launching this product
in India. This Controller System enable for Roads and
Railways Project with the Automatic Controller System.

Traffic Light Controller in Roads System

This is the Digital System Based Traffic Light
Controller which comes about an idea from the Digital
electronics. The implementation of idea is based on
VHDL and Verilog HDL as Hardware Description
Language in XLINIX 9.2, DSCH 3.1, Microwind 3.1 and
Altera Quartus II Software.
Controlling System in Railways-The maintaining
of Traffic Light Controller System in Railways is based
on the Central HUB Server which controls the four zonal
direction of Railways. There are certain problems and for
solving the problem of hazard and human accidental
case in railways, I have to design the Restart and Clock
Control System which comes from the concept of
Sequential Circuit. This Restart and Clock System
creates the following action when hazard and human
accidental problem has started and then this system will
manually restart that zone direction of Traffic Light
Controller System.
The Indian Railways System is the busy and
hazards creating system. This hazard shows the
accidents and human errors which automatically fail the
concept of Moore Machine as present state in
Automatic Traffic Light Controller System. The main
purpose for designing this Automatic Traffic Light
Controller System is too developed in this innovative
way to handle this situation at the time of Hazard
Problems. The Four Direction Zone Railway System is
based on the UP and DOWN Trains and Railway Lines

as per Railway System in India and other countries. The

Clock System is based on the Running Train Location
and Operating this Automatic Traffic Light Controller
System.

Traffic Light Controller in Railway System

Electronics-This
Concepts
of
Digital
AutomaticTraffic Light Controller System is based on the
concept of Digital Electronics which shows the Roads
Traffic Light System as Combinational Circuit. This
system has arisen the concept of Four Direction Roads
and the controlling of Roads in a Sequence Manner.
This system is based on the designing of this four
direction based Traffic Light Controller.
It also shows the Railway Traffic Light Controller
System as Sequential Circuit which can be restart as
Hazard and Accidental Problems. The main purpose for
designing this circuit is that the system has arisen on
four direction zone which shows if any hazard problem
created on any direction as based on the designing of
Traffic Light Controller. This System can restart that zone
due to Hazard Problems as maintaining the Railway
System in Automatic Controlling Based Traffic Light
Controller System.

DSCH 3.1 and XLINIX 9.2 for this designing of Automatic

Traffic Light Controlling System enables:
XILLINX ISE-Xlinix ISE is a complete ECAD
(Electronic computer-aided design) application. It has
the added and provided value of being produced by the
world's largest supplier of programmable logic devices
and being free. This application also enable the helps
you design, test and debugging integrated circuits.
If you ever tried to design and implement any
kind of electronic circuits, digital concepts, connecting
cables, LEDs and chips, as soon as we know that pretty
soon all you end up with a big and confusing pile of
small colour cables. There are some applications which
available that we shall help to keep things in perspective
and respective manner for transposing the logic and
circuit to your screen. This will benefit in a lot of ways as
soon that we can forget about implementing the bread
boards malfunctions or looking for hours through
burned (forgotten) chip. Xilinx ISE simply takes this idea
to the next level (several levels above in VLSI Design).
We will have access to hundreds of industrial standard
chips, from the standard AND or NOT gates that it can
get all the way to the more complex ones (including
multiplexers, counters etc.). If we do not find that what
you need you will be able to design it and use it just as
another chip from the library.
After the Design and Logic Circuit Phase, we
can test our design by changing inputs and checking
the results in this software. This will take few time in
each circuit has to be completely compiled and
completed before the test can be done. As we might
have already concluded, this is not program for the
beginner. The user interface has although clean and full
of nice buttons but cannot hide the complexity of the
underlying process. We shall most probably need the
user manual of this software. This is very advanced
program in HDL Language to be used by engineers at
production and industrial level in VLSI Design by
designing the chips in IC Fabrication.
One word of advice that however, we save our
work frequently. Xilinx will crash repeatedly when
compiling our work in HDL Language. It will not
recognize our save files and it will not be able to read
our data. If we try to save everything in a simple folder in
the root of our disk, no characters besides letters, no
special words and no spaces as soon as possible. I
have always managed to get my work back but I surely
would not like to have to work with this application on a
daily basis.

DSCH 3.1 C-The DSCH program is a logic

editor, digital circuit design and simulator. DSCH is
always used to validate the architecture of the logic
circuit and digital design before the microelectronics
design is started. DSCH also provides a user-friendly
environment for hierarchical logic and digital design, fast
simulation with delay and logic analysis, which allows
the design and compilation of complex logic structures.
DSCH also features the symbols of logic gates, models
and assembly support for 8051 and other Micro
Controllers. Designers can create the logic circuits for
interfacing with these controllers and verify software
programs using DSCH.
Highlights
1.

User-friendly environment for rapid design of logic

circuits.

2.

Supports hierarchical logic design.

3.

Handles both conventional pattern-based logic

II.

From here, I have now discussed the all points

related to this Automatic Traffic Light Controller. This
research and implementation of idea is based on the
new device which provides flexibility and high economy
for traffic solutions in our daily life. This Automatic Traffic
Light Controller implements the true output state by
applying the present Clock State. This controller can
achieve the following aspects through automatic
controlling purpose which become railway tracks and
roads traffic faster and to minimize the hazard problems
in our daily life.
This Automatic Traffic Light Controller is based
on the State Designing and concept of Moore Machine
which depends on the output and present state of
machine. The design and waveform expression shows
the proved explanation of Automatic Traffic Light
Controller. This controller can be used in various
applications like Air Traffic Control, Metro Railways
System, Special Trains System, Railway Tracks and
Roads System. This Automatic Traffic Light Controller is
based on the Red, Yellow and Green Light as the
concept of Moore Machine for creation of Controlling
Device. This Traffic Light Controlling System becomes
life more easily for controlling the things as automatic
system with 100% accuracy purpose for designing and
development of Automatic Enabling Controlling Device.
